Cooper
I was born near London,
England. At the age of thirteen I played in a local band called THE
BARONS . We
worked with many famous names including: The Hollies, The
Yardbirds, The Zombies, Van Morison, and The SmallFaces. I
became a professional musician at nineteen and joined the Australian
show band The Shalimars.
As a duo COCKNEY also
known as (Rick and Nadia) I played the night clubs of Manchester, England
and supported such names as Wayne Fontana
and Long John Baldry. Hired
by the American Armed Forces tours took us through Germany, Italy and
Turkey. As performers on a Mediterranean cruise ship we visited the
South of France, North Africa and Malta. Three years with the National
School Assembly programs of Hollywood and one year with the University
of Minnesota
we travelled through twenty eight States of America educating and entertaining
school students.
